The Lawfare Podcast: Daniel Placek on Darkode
Last week as part of the\xa0University of Texas at\xa0Austin\xa0Strauss Center's\xa0conference on "The Frontiers of Cybersecurity Policy and Law," Daniel Placek,\xa0formerly one of the key figures behind the underground hacker website Darkode,\xa0offered an inside look into what led him to start the website, which Europol once called \u201cthe most prolific English-speaking cybercriminal forum to date.\u201d\xa0In an interview with NPR News Correspondent Dina Temple-Raston, Placek describes\xa0the types of hacker tools once available for hire on the site, and describes what the future of the dark web looks like. He also discusses his cooperation with federal law enforcement officials\xa0in their\xa0efforts to take down the site. All in all, it\u2019s an interview that shines a light into some of the darkest corners of the web and raises fundamental questions about how such places are policed.
It\u2019s the Lawfare Podcast, Episode #157: Daniel Placek on Darkode.
